REVIEW PAPER ABSTRACT 55

 Recently, 3D printing has become a promising technique in biomedical engineering applications.

These techniques have undergone numerous changes since they were first produced, from the
instrument to the material used. Herein, we provided an overview and comprehensive insight
into the rapidly progressing field of additive manufacturing, called lithography-based 3D
printing. This technique has been a topic of interest in the past decade, when the potential of
irradiated light emerged in tissue engineering. At first, the significant differences between the
lithography-based and other methods are discussed, and it is followed by a general framework
for photo-cross-linking of polymers. Furthermore, the specific bioresin criteria and properties
that should be attained in order to achieve optimum utility and printability are discussed
according to the bioprinting strategy of interest and materials selection. Finally, we summarize
the recent lithography-based bioprinting applications for fabricated tissues, disease models,
regenerative medicine, 4D printing, and local delivery of therapeutic agents. Our review of
future possibilities is expected to motivate the development of a lithography-based bioprinting
landscape facilitated by light. © 2022 The Author(s)

 Lithography-based 3D printing is a rapidly progressing field in biomedical engineering, with

potential in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and more. This review provides an
overview of the technique, discussing differences from other methods, bioresin criteria, and
recent applications. Future possibilities for lithography-based bioprinting are also explored.
